Poor Lois! This annoying fellow coming in to get a pencil and not letting her wallow in peace and quiet. And Perry not knowing what a schmuck Claude has been to this young reporter with potential.

Poor Clark, so busy concentrating on heating up his coffee he doesn't hear the Chief sneak up! Isn't that life?

So what is Lois going to think about Clark's offer to partner up? Hmmmm.

This part was well worth the wait! Perry's behavior towards Clark is spot on. It is a little suprising to see Clark as the senior and Lois the junior reporter. From the conversation with Perry I get the impression her work is not what he expected and she is a disappointment.

Claude as always is a snake!

Keep up the great writing.
